138:480,000[' ]| 138:480,000[' ]| 138:480,001[A ]| In$4$ Cupid's School, whoever would take Degree, 138:480,002[A ]| Must learn his Rudiments, by$4$ reading me. 138:480,003[A ]| Seamen with sailing Arts their Vessels move; 138:480,004[A ]| Art guides the Chariot; Art instructs to$9$ Love. 138:480,005[A ]| Of Ships and Chariots others know the Rule; 138:480,006[A ]| But I am Master in$4$ Love's mighty School. 138:480,007[A ]| Cupid indeed is obstinate and wild, 138:480,008[A ]| A stubborn God; but yet the God is a Child: 138:480,009[A ]| Easy to$9$ govern in$4$ his tender Age, 138:480,010[A ]| Like$4$ fierce Achilles in$4$ his Pupillage. 138:480,011[A ]| That$6#2$ Hero, born for$4$ Conquest, trembling stood 138:480,012[A ]| Before the Centaur, and received the Rod. 138:480,013[A ]| As Chiron mollified his cruel Mind 138:480,014[A ]| With Art; and taught his Warlike Hands to$9$ wind 138:480,015[A ]| The Silver Strings of his melodious Lyre: 138:480,016[A ]| So$3$ Love's fair Goddess does my Soul inspire 138:480,017[A ]| To$9$ teach her softer Arts; to$9$ soothe the Mind, 138:480,018[A ]| And smooth the rugged Breasts of Human Kind. 138:480,019[A ]| Yet Cupid and Achilles, each with Scorn 138:480,020[A ]| And Rage were filled; and both were Goddess-Born. 138:480,021[A ]| The Bull reclaimed and yoked, the Burden draws: 138:480,022[A ]| The Horse receives the Bit within his Jaws. 138:480,023[A ]| And stubborn Love shall bend beneath my Sway, 138:480,024[A ]| Though struggling oft he strives to$9$ disobey. 138:480,025[A ]| He shakes his Torch, he wounds me with his Darts; 138:480,026[A ]| But vain his Force, and vainer are his Arts. 138:481,027[A ]| The more he burns my Soul, or wounds my Sight, 138:481,028[A ]| The more he teaches to$9$ revenge the Spite. 138:481,029[A ]| I boast no$2$ Aid the Delphian God affords, 138:481,030[A ]| Nor Auspice from the flight of chattering Birds; 138:481,031[A ]| Nor Clio, nor her Sisters have I seen, 138:481,032[A ]| As Hesiod saw them on$4$ the shady Green: 138:481,033[A ]| Experience makes my Work a Truth so$5#1$ tried, 138:481,034[A ]| You may believe; and Venus be my Guide. 138:481,035[A ]| Far hence you Vestals be, who$6#1$ bind your Hair; 138:481,036[A ]| And Wives, who$6#1$ Gowns below your Ankles wear. 138:481,037[A ]| I sing the Brothels loose and unconfined, 138:481,038[A ]| The unpunishable Pleasures of the Kind; 138:481,039[A ]| Which$6#1$ all alike, for$4$ Love, or Money find. 138:481,040[A ]| You, who$6#1$ in$4$ Cupid's Rolls inscribe your Name, 138:481,041[A ]| First seek an Object worthy of your Flame; 138:481,042[A ]| Then strive with Art, your Lady's Mind to$9$ gain: 138:481,043[A ]| And last, provide your Love may long remain. 138:481,044[A ]| On$4$ these three Precepts all my Work shall more: 138:481,045[A ]| These are the Rules and Principles of Love. 138:481,046[A ]| Before your youth with Marriage is oppressed, 138:481,047[A ]| Make choice of one who$6#1$ suits your Humour best: 138:481,048[A ]| And such a Damsel drops not from the Sky; 138:481,049[A ]| She must be sought for$5$ with a curious Eye. 138:481,050[A ]| The wary Angler, in$4$ the winding Brook, 138:481,051[A ]| Knows what the Fish, and where to$9$ bait his Hook. 138:481,052[A ]| The Fowler and the Huntsman know by$4$ Name, 138:481,053[A ]| The certain Haunts, and Harbour of their Game. 138:481,054[A ]| So$3$ must the Lover beat the likeliest Grounds; 138:481,055[A ]| The Assemblies where his Quarry most abounds. 138:481,056[A ]| Nor shall my Novice wander far astray; 138:481,057[A ]| These Rules shall put him in$4$ the ready Way, 138:482,058[A ]| Thou shalt not sail around the Continent, 138:482,059[A ]| As far as Perseus, or as Paris went: 138:482,060[A ]| For$3$ Rome alone affords thee such a Store; 138:482,061[A ]| As all the World can hardly show thee more. 138:482,062[A ]| The Face of Heaven with fewer Stars is crowned, 138:482,063[A ]| Than Beauties in$4$ the Roman Sphere are found. 138:482,064[A ]| Whether thy Love is bent on$4$ blooming Youth, 138:482,065[A ]| On$4$ dawning Sweetness, on$4$ unartful Truth; 138:482,066[A ]| Or courts the juicy Joys of riper Growth; 138:482,067[A ]| Here mayst thou find thy full Desires in$4$ both. 138:482,068[A ]| Or if Autumnal Beauties please thy Sight 138:482,069[A ]| (An Age that$6#1$ knows to$9$ give, and take Delight;) 138:482,070[A ]| Millions of Matrons of the graver Sort, 138:482,071[A ]| In$4$ common Prudence, will$1$ not balk the Sport. 138:482,072[A ]| In$4$ Summer Heats thou needst but only go 138:482,073[A ]| To$4$ Pompey's cool and shady Portico; 138:482,074[A ]| Or Concord's Fane; or that$6#2$ Proud Edifice, 138:482,075[A ]| Whose Turrets near the bawdy Suburb rise: 138:482,076[A ]| Or to$4$ that$6#2$ other Portico, where stands 138:482,077[A ]| The cruel Father, urging his Commands; 138:482,078[A ]| And fifty Daughters wait the Time of Rest, 138:482,079[A ]| To$9$ plunge their Poniards in$4$ the Bridegroom's Breast: 138:482,080[A ]| Or Venus Temple; where, on$4$ Annual Nights, 138:482,081[A ]| They mourn Adonis with Assyrian Rites. 138:482,082[A ]| Nor shun the Jewish Walk, where the foul Drove, 138:482,083[A ]| On$4$ Sabbaths, rest from everything but Love: 138:482,084[A ]| Nor Isis Temple; for$3$ that$6#2$ sacred Whore 138:482,085[A ]| Makes others, what to$4$ Jove she was before. 138:482,086[A ]| And if the Hall itself be not belied, 138:482,087[A ]| Even there the Cause of Love is often tried: 138:482,088[A ]| Near it at least, or in$4$ the Palace Yard; 138:482,089[A ]| From whence the noisy Combatants are heard. 138:482,090[A ]| The crafty Counsellors, in$4$ formal Gown, 138:483,091[A ]| There gain another's Cause, but lose their own. 138:483,092[A ]| There Eloquence is nonplussed in$4$ the Suit; 138:483,093[A ]| And Lawyers, who$6#1$ had Words at Will$0$, are mute. 138:483,094[A ]| Venus, from her adjoining Temple, smiles, 138:483,095[A ]| To$9$ see them caught in$4$ their litigious Wiles. 138:483,096[A ]| Grave Senators lead home the Youthful Dame; 138:483,097[A ]| Returning Clients, when they Patrons came. 138:483,098[A ]| But above all, the Play-House is the Place; 138:483,099[A ]| There is Choice of Quarry in$4$ that$6#2$ narrow Chase. 138:483,100[A ]| There take thy Stand, and sharply looking out, 138:483,101[A ]| Soon mayst thou find a Mistress in$4$ the Rout; 138:483,102[A ]| For$4$ Length of Time, or for$4$ a single Bout. 138:483,103[A ]| The Theatres are Berries for$4$ the Fair: 138:483,104[A ]| Like$4$ Ants on$4$ Mole-hills, thither they repair: 138:483,105[A ]| Like$4$ Bees to$4$ Hives, so$5#1$ numerously they throng, 138:483,106[A ]| It may be said, they to$4$ that$6#2$ Place belong. 138:483,107[A ]| Thither they swarm, who$6#1$ have the public Voice: 138:483,108[A ]| There choose, if Plenty not distracts thy Choice. 138:483,109[A ]| To$9$ see, and to$9$ be seen, in$4$ Heaps they run; 138:483,110[A ]| Some to$9$ undo, and some to$9$ be undone. 138:483,111[A ]| From Romulus the Rise of Plays began, 138:483,112[A ]| To$4$ his new Subjects a commodious Man; 138:483,113[A ]| Who$6#1$, his unmarried Soldiers to$9$ supply, 138:483,114[A ]| Took care the Common-wealth should multiply: 138:483,115[A ]| Providing Sabine Women for$4$ his Braves, 138:483,116[A ]| Like$4$ a true King, to$9$ get a Race of Slaves. 138:483,117[A ]| His Play-House, not of Parian Marble made, 138:483,118[A ]| Nor was it spread with Purple Sails for$4$ Shade. 138:483,119[A ]| The Stage with Rushes, or with Leaves they strowed: 138:483,120[A ]| No$2$ Scenes in$4$ Prospect, no$2$ Machining God. 138:483,121[A ]| On$4$ Rows of homely Turf they sat to$9$ see, 138:483,122[A ]| Crowned with the Wreaths of every common Tree. 138:483,123[A ]| There, while they sit in$4$ rustic Majesty, 138:483,124[A ]| Each Lover had his Mistress in$4$ his eye; 138:483,125[A ]| And whom he saw most suiting to$4$ his Mind, 138:483,126[A ]| For$4$ Joys of Matrimonial Rape designed. 138:484,127[A ]| Scarce could they wait the Plaudit in$4$ their haste; 138:484,128[A ]| But before the Dances and the Song were past, 138:484,129[A ]| The Monarch gave the Signal from his Throne; 138:484,130[A ]| And rising, bad his merry Men fall on$5$. 138:484,131[A ]| The Martial Crew, like$4$ Soldiers ready pressed, 138:484,132[A ]| Just at the Word (the Word too was the Best) 138:484,133[A ]| With joyful Cries each other animate, 138:484,134[A ]| Some choose, and some at Hazard seize their Mate. 138:484,135[A ]| As Doves from Eagles, or from Wolves the Lambs, 138:484,136[A ]| So$3$ from their lawless Lovers fly the Dames. 138:484,137[A ]| Their Fear was one, but not one Face of Fear; 138:484,138[A ]| Some rend the lovely Tresses of their Hair: 138:484,139[A ]| Some shriek, and some are struck with dumb Despair. 138:484,140[A ]| Her absent Mother one invokes in$4$ vain; 138:484,141[A ]| One stands amazed, not daring to$9$ complain; 138:484,142[A ]| The nimbler trust their Feet, the slow remain. 138:484,143[A ]| But nought availing, all are Captives led, 138:484,144[A ]| Trembling and blushing, to$4$ the Genial Bed. 138:484,145[A ]| She who$6#1$ too long resisted, or denied, 138:484,146[A ]| The lusty Lover made by$4$ Force a Bride; 138:484,147[A ]| And with superior Strength, compelled her to$4$ his Side: 138:484,148[A ]| Then soothed her thus: ~~ 138:484,148@b | My Soul's far better Part, 138:484,149@b | Cease weeping, nor afflict thy tender Heart: 138:484,150@b | For$3$ what thy Father to$4$ thy Mother was, 138:484,151@b | That$6#2$ Faith to$4$ thee, that$6#2$ solemn Vow I pass. 138:484,152[A ]| Thus Romulus became so$5#1$ popular; 138:484,153[A ]| This was the Way to$9$ thrive in$4$ Peace and War; 138:484,154[A ]| To$9$ pay his Army, and fresh Whores to$9$ bring: 138:484,155[A ]| Who$6#2$ would not fight for$4$ such a gracious King? 138:484,156[A ]| Thus Love in$4$ Theatres did first improve; 138:484,157[A ]| And Theatres are still the Scene of Love. 138:484,158[A ]| Nor shun the Chariots, and the Courser's Race; 138:485,159[A ]| The Circus is no$2$ inconvenient Place. 138:485,160[A ]| Nor need is there of talking on$4$ the Hand; 138:485,161[A ]| Nor Nods, nor Signs, which$6#1$ Lovers understand. 138:485,162[A ]| But boldly next the Fair your Seat provide; 138:485,163[A ]| Close as you can to$4$ hers; and Side by$4$ Side. 138:485,164[A ]| Pleased or unpleased, no$2$ matter; crowding sit; 138:485,165[A ]| For$3$ so$5#2$ the Laws of public Shows permit. 138:485,166[A ]| Then find Occasion to$9$ begin Discourse; 138:485,167[A ]| Enquire whose Chariot this, and whose that$6#2$ Horse; 138:485,168[A ]| That$3$ whatsoever Side she is inclined, 138:485,169[A ]| Suit all your Inclinations to$4$ her Mind: 138:485,170[A ]| Like$1$ what she likes, from thence your Court begin; 138:485,171[A ]| And whom she favours, wish that$3$ he may win. 138:485,172[A ]| But when the Statues of the Deities, 138:485,173[A ]| In$4$ Chariots rolled, appear before the Prize; 138:485,174[A ]| When Venus comes, with deep Devotion rise. 138:485,175[A ]| If Dust be on$4$ her Lap, or Grains of Sand; 138:485,176[A ]| Brush both away with your officious Hand. 138:485,177[A ]| If none be there, yet brush that$6#2$ nothing thence; 138:485,178[A ]| And still to$9$ touch her Lap make some Pretence. 138:485,179[A ]| Touch anything of hers; and if her Train 138:485,180[A ]| Sweep on$4$ the Ground, let it not sweep in$4$ vain. 138:485,181[A ]| But gently take it up$5$, and wipe it clean: 138:485,182[A ]| And while you wipe it with observing Eyes, 138:485,183[A ]| Who$6#2$ knows but you may see her naked Thighs! 138:485,184[A ]| Observe who$6#1$ sits behind her; and beware, 138:485,185[A ]| Lest his encroaching Knee should press the Fair. 138:485,186[A ]| Light Service takes light Minds: For$3$ some can tell 138:485,187[A ]| Of Favours won, by$4$ laying Cushions well: 138:485,188[A ]| By$4$ Fanning Faces, some their Fortune meet; 138:485,189[A ]| And some by$4$ laying Footstools for$4$ their Feet. 138:485,190[A ]| These Overtures of Love the Circus gives; 138:485,191[A ]| Nor at the Sword-play less the Lover thrives: 138:485,192[A ]| For$3$ there the Son of Venus fights his Prize; 138:485,193[A ]| And deepest Wounds are oft received from Eyes. 138:486,194[A ]| One, while the Crowd their Acclamations make, 138:486,195[A ]| Or while he Bets, and puts his Ring to$9$ Stake, 138:486,196[A ]| Is struck from far, and feels the flying Dart; 138:486,197[A ]| And of the Spectacle is made a Part. 138:486,198[A ]| Caesar would represent a Naval Fight, 138:486,199[A ]| For$4$ his own Honour, and for$4$ Rome's Delight. 138:486,200[A ]| From either Sea the Youths and Maidens come., 138:486,201[A ]| And all the World was then contained in$4$ Rome! 138:486,202[A ]| In$4$ this vast Concourse, in$4$ this Choice of Game, 138:486,203[A ]| What Roman Heart but felt a foreign Flame? 138:486,204[A ]| Once more our Prince prepares to$9$ make us glad; 138:486,205[A ]| And the remaining East to$4$ Rome will$1$ add. 138:486,206[A ]| Rejoice you Roman Soldiers in$4$ your Urn 138:486,207[A ]| Your Ensigns from the Parthians shall return, 138:486,208[A ]| And the slain Crassi shall no$2$ longer mourn 138:486,209[A ]| A Youth is sent those Trophies to$9$ demand; 138:486,210[A ]| And bears his Father's Thunder in$4$ his Hand. 138:486,211[A ]| Doubt not the Imperial Boy in$4$ Wars unseen, 138:486,212[A ]| In$4$ Childhood all of Caesar's Race are Men. 138:486,213[A ]| Celestial Seeds shoot out before their Day, 138:486,214[A ]| Prevent their Years, and brook no$2$ dull Delay. 138:486,215[A ]| Thus Infant Hercules the Snakes did press., 138:486,216[A ]| And in$4$ his Cradle did his Sire confess. 138:486,217[A ]| Bacchus a Boy, yet like$4$ a Hero fought; 138:486,218[A ]| And early Spoils from conquered India brought. 138:486,219[A ]| Thus you your Father's Troops shall lead to$9$ Fight; 138:486,220[A ]| And thus shall vanquish in$4$ your Father's Right. 138:486,221[A ]| These Rudiments you to$4$ your Lineage owe 138:486,222[A ]| Born to$9$ increase your Titles as you grow. 138:486,223[A ]| Brethren you had, Revenge your Brethren slain; 138:486,224[A ]| You have a Father, and his Rights maintain. 138:486,225[A ]| Armed by$4$ your Country's Parent, and your own, 138:486,226[A ]| Redeem your Country, and restore his Throne. 138:486,227[A ]| Your Enemies assert an impious Cause; 138:486,228[A ]| You fight both for$4$ divine and human Laws. 138:487,229[A ]| Already in$4$ their Cause they are overcome; 138:487,230[A ]| Subject them too, by$4$ Force of Arms, to$4$ Rome. 138:487,231[A ]| Great Father Mars with greater Caesar join; 138:487,232[A ]| To$9$ give a prosperous Omen to$4$ your Line: 138:487,233[A ]| One of you is, and one shall be divine. 138:487,234[A ]| I prophesy you shall, you shall overcome; 138:487,235[A ]| My verse shall bring you back in$4$ Triumph Home. 138:487,236[A ]| Speak in$4$ my Verse, exhort to$4$ loud Alarms. 138:487,237[A ]| O were my Numbers equal to$4$ your Arms. 138:487,238[A ]| Then will$1$ I sing the Parthians Overthrow: 138:487,239[A ]| Their Shot averse sent from a flying Bow. 138:487,240[A ]| The Parthians, who$6#1$ already flying fight: 138:487,241[A ]| Already give an Omen of their Flight. 138:487,242[A ]| O when will$1$ come the Day, by$4$ Heaven designed, 138:487,243[A ]| When thou the best and fairest of Mankind, 138:487,244[A ]| Drawn by$4$ white Horses shalt in$4$ triumph ride, 138:487,245[A ]| With conquered Slaves attending on$4$ thy Side; 138:487,246[A ]| Slaves, that$6#1$ no$2$ longer can be safe in$4$ Flight? 138:487,247[A ]| O glorious Object, O surprising Sight, 138:487,248[A ]| O Day of public joy; too good to$9$ end in$4$ Night! 138:487,249[A ]| On$4$ such a Day, if thou, and next to$4$ thee, 138:487,250[A ]| Some Beauty sits the Spectacle to$9$ see: 138:487,251[A ]| It she enquire the Names of conquered Kings, 138:487,252[A ]| Of Mountains, Rivers, and their hidden Springs; 138:487,253[A ]| Answer to$4$ all thou knowest; and if need be, 138:487,254[A ]| Of Things unknown seem to$9$ speak knowingly: 138:487,255[A ]| This is Euphrates, crowned with Reeds; and there 138:487,256[A ]| Flows the swift Tigris, with his Sea-green Hair. 138:487,257[A ]| Invent new Names of things unknown before, 138:487,258[A ]| Call this Armenia; that$6#2$ the Caspian Shore: 138:487,259[A ]| Call this a Mede, and that$6#2$ a Parthian Youth; 138:487,260[A ]| Talk probably; no$2$ Matter for$4$ the Truth. 138:487,261[A ]| In$4$ Feasts, as at our Shows, new Means abound; 138:487,262[A ]| More Pleasure there, than that$6#2$ of Wine is found. 138:487,263[A ]| The Paphian Goddess there her Ambush lays; 138:488,264[A ]| And Love between the Horns of Bacchus plays: 138:488,265[A ]| Desires increase at every swilling Draught; 138:488,266[A ]| Brisk Vapours add new Vigour to$4$ the Thought. 138:488,267[A ]| There Cupid's purple Wings no$2$ Flight afford; 138:488,268[A ]| But wet with Wine, he flutters on$4$ the Board. 138:488,269[A ]| He shakes his Pinions, but he can not move; 138:488,270[A ]| Fixed he remains, and turns a Maudlin Love. 138:488,271[A ]| Wine warms the Blood, and makes the Spirits flow; 138:488,272[A ]| Care flies, and Wrinkles from the Forehead go: 138:488,273[A ]| Exalts the Poor, Invigorates the Weak; 138:488,274[A ]| Gives Mirth and Laughter, and a Rosy Cheek. 138:488,275[A ]| Bold Truths it speaks, and spoken, dares maintain: 138:488,276[A ]| And brings our old Simplicity again. 138:488,277[A ]| Love sparkles in$4$ the Cup, and fills it higher: 138:488,278[A ]| Wine feeds the Flames, and Fuel adds to$4$ Fire. 138:488,279[A ]| But choose no$2$ Mistress in$4$ thy drunken Fit; 138:488,280[A ]| Wine gilds too much their Beauties and their Wit. 138:488,281[A ]| Nor trust thy Judgment when the Tapers dance; 138:488,282[A ]| But sober, and by$4$ Day, thy Suit advance. 138:488,283[A ]| By$4$ Day-Light Paris judged the beauteous Three; 138:488,284[A ]| And for$4$ the fairest, did the Prize decree. 138:488,285[A ]| Night is a Cheat, and all Deformities 138:488,286[A ]| Are hid, or lessened in$4$ her dark Disguise. 138:488,287[A ]| The Sun's fair Light each Error will$1$ confess, 138:488,288[A ]| In$4$ Face, in$4$ Shape, in$4$ jewels, and in$4$ Dress. 138:488,289[A ]| Why name I every Place where Youths abound? 138:488,290[A ]| It is Loss of Time; and a too fruitful Ground. 138:488,291[A ]| The Bajan Baths, where Ships at Anchor ride, 138:488,292[A ]| And wholesome Streams from Sulphur Fountains glide: 138:488,293[A ]| Where wounded Youths are by$4$ Experience taught, 138:488,294[A ]| The Waters are less healthful than they thought. 138:488,295[A ]| Or Dian's Fane, which$6#1$ near the Suburb lies; 138:488,296[A ]| Where Priests, for$4$ their Promotion, fight a Prize. 138:488,297[A ]| That$6#2$ Maiden Goddess is Love's mortal Foe, 138:488,298[A ]| And much from her his Subjects undergo. 138:489,299[A ]| Thus far the sportful Muse, with Myrtle bound, 138:489,300[A ]| Has sung where lovely Lasses may be found. 138:489,301[A ]| Now let me sing, how she who$6#1$ wounds your Mind, 138:489,302[A ]| With Art, may be to$9$ cure your Wounds inclined. 138:489,303[A ]| Young Nobles, to$4$ my Laws Attention lend: 138:489,304[A ]| And all you Vulgar of my School, attend. 138:489,305[A ]| Find then believe, all Women may be won; 138:489,306[A ]| Attempt with Confidence, the Work is done. 138:489,307[A ]| The grasshopper shall first forbear to$9$ sing, 138:489,308[A ]| In$4$ Summer Season, or the Birds in$4$ Spring; 138:489,309[A ]| Than Women can resist your flattering Skill: 138:489,310[A ]| Even She will$1$ yield, who$6#1$ swears she never will$1$. 138:489,311[A ]| To$4$ Secret Pleasure both the Sexes move: 138:489,312[A ]| But Women most, who$6#1$ most dissemble Love. 138:489,313[A ]| It were best for$4$ us, if they would first declare; 138:489,314[A ]| Avow their Passion, and submit to$4$ Prayer. 138:489,315[A ]| The Cow by$4$ lowing, tells the Bull her Flame: 138:489,316[A ]| The neighing Mare invites her Stallion to$4$ the Game. 138:489,317[A ]| Man is more temperate in$4$ his Lust than they; 138:489,318[A ]| And more than Women, can his Passion sway. 138:489,319[A ]| Biblis, we know, did first her Love declare; 138:489,320[A ]| And had Recourse to$4$ Death in$4$ her Despair. 138:489,321[A ]| Her Brother She; her Father Myrrha sought; 138:489,322[A ]| And loved, but loved not as a Daughter ought. 138:489,323[A ]| Now from a Tree she stills her odorous Tears; 138:489,324[A ]| Which$6#1$ yet the Name of her who$6#1$ shed them bears. 138:489,325[A ]| In$4$ Ida's shady Vale a Bull appeared; 138:489,326[A ]| White as the Snow, the fairest of the Herd; 138:489,327[A ]| A Beauty Spot of black there only rose, 138:489,328[A ]| Between his equal Horns and ample Brows: 138:489,329[A ]| The Love and Wish of all the Cretan Cows. 138:489,330[A ]| The Queen beheld him as his Head he reared, 138:489,331[A ]| And envied every Leap he gave the Herd. 138:489,332[A ]| A Secret Fire she nourished in$4$ her Breast; 138:490,333[A ]| And hated every Heifer he caressed. 138:490,334[A ]| A Story known, and known for$4$ true, I tell; 138:490,335[A ]| Nor Crete, though lying, can the Truth conceal. 138:490,336[A ]| She cut him Grass; (so$5#1$ much can Love command) 138:490,337[A ]| She stroked, she fed him with her Royal Hand: 138:490,338[A ]| Was pleased in$4$ Pastures with the Herd to$9$ roam, 138:490,339[A ]| And Minos by$4$ the Bull was overcome. 138:490,340[A ]| Cease Queen, with Gemms, to$9$ adorn thy beauteous Brows; 138:490,341[A ]| The Monarch of thy Heart no$2$ Jewel knows. 138:490,342[A ]| Nor in$4$ thy Glass compose thy Looks and Eyes; 138:490,343[A ]| Secure from all thy Charms thy Lover lies. 138:490,344[A ]| Yet trust thy Mirror when it tells thee true; 138:490,345[A ]| Thou art no$2$ Heifer to$9$ allure his View. 138:490,346[A ]| Soon wouldst thou quit thy Royal Diadem 138:490,347[A ]| To$4$ thy fair Rivals; to$9$ be horned like$4$ them. 138:490,348[A ]| If Minos please, no$2$ Lover seek to$9$ find; 138:490,349[A ]| If not, at least seek one of human Kind. 138:490,350[A ]| The wretched Queen the Cretan Court forsakes; 138:490,351[A ]| In$4$ Woods and Wilds, her Habitation makes: 138:490,352[A ]| She curses every beauteous Cow she sees; 138:490,353@c | Ah, why dost thou my Lord and Master please? 138:490,354@c | And thinkest, ungrateful Creature as thou art, 138:490,355@c | With frisking awkwardly, to$9$ gain his Heart. 138:490,356[A ]| She said; and straight commands, with frowning Look, 138:490,357[A ]| To$9$ put her, undeserving, to$4$ the Yoke. 138:490,358[A ]| Or feigns some holy Rites of Sacrifice; 138:490,359[A ]| And sees her Rival's Death with joyful Eyes: 138:490,360[A ]| Then, when the Bloody Priest has done his Part, 138:490,361[A ]| Pleased, in$4$ her Hand she holds the beating Heart: 138:490,362[A ]| Nor from a scornful Taunt can scarce refrain; 138:490,363[A ]| Go Fool, and strive to$9$ please my Love again. 138:490,364[A ]| Now she would be Europa ~~ Io, now; 138:490,365[A ]| (A Bull bore one; and one was made a Cow.) 138:491,366[A ]| Yet she at last her Brutal Bliss obtained; 138:491,367[A ]| And in$4$ a wooden Cow the Bull sustained: 138:491,368[A ]| Filled with his Seed, accomplished her Desire; 138:491,369[A ]| Till, by$4$ his Form, the Son betrayed the Sire. 138:491,370[A ]| If Atreus' Wife to$4$ Incest had not run; 138:491,371[A ]| (But ah, how hard it is to$9$ love but one!) 138:491,372[A ]| His Coursers Phoebus had not driven away, 138:491,373[A ]| To$9$ shun that$6#2$ Sight, and interrupt the Day. 138:491,374[A ]| Thy Daughter, Nisus, pulled thy purple Hair; 138:491,375[A ]| And barking Sea-Dogs yet her Bowels tear. 138:491,376[A ]| At Sea and Land Atrides saved his Life; 138:491,377[A ]| Yet fell a Prey to$4$ his adulterous Wife. 138:491,378[A ]| Who$6#2$ knows not what Revenge Medea sought, 138:491,379[A ]| When the slain Offspring bore the Father's Fault? 138:491,380[A ]| Thus Phoenix did a Woman's Love bewail: 138:491,381[A ]| And thus Hippolitus by$4$ Phaedra fell. 138:491,382[A ]| These Crimes revengeful Matrons did commit; 138:491,383[A ]| Hotter their Lust, and sharper is their Wit. 138:491,384[A ]| Doubt not from them an easy Victory: 138:491,385[A ]| Scarce of a thousand Dames will$1$ one deny. 138:491,386[A ]| All Women are content that$3$ Men should woo: 138:491,387[A ]| She who$6#1$ complains, and She who$6#1$ will$1$ not do. 138:491,388[A ]| Rest then secure, whatever thy Luck may prove, 138:491,389[A ]| Not to$9$ be hated for$4$ declaring Love., 138:491,390[A ]| And yet how canst thou miss, since Woman-kind 138:491,391[A ]| Is frail and vain; and still to$4$ Change inclined? 138:491,392[A ]| Old Husbands, and stale Gallants they despise; 138:491,393[A ]| And more another's than their own, they prize. 138:491,394[A ]| A larger Crop adorns our Neighbour's Field, 138:491,395[A ]| More Milk his Kine from swelling Udders yield. 138:491,396[A ]| First gain the Maid: By$4$ her thou shalt be sure 138:491,397[A ]| A free Access, and easy to$9$ procure: 138:491,398[A ]| Who$6#1$ knows, what to$4$ her Office does belong, 138:491,399[A ]| Is in$4$ the Secret, and can hold her Tongue. 138:492,400[A ]| Bribe her with Gifts, with Promises, and Prayers; 138:492,401[A ]| For$3$ her good Word goes far in$4$ Love Affairs. 138:492,402[A ]| The Time and fit Occasion leave to$4$ her, 138:492,403[A ]| When she most aptly can thy Suit prefer. 138:492,404[A ]| The Time for$4$ Maids to$9$ fire their Lady's Blood, 138:492,405[A ]| Is when they find her in$4$ a merry Mood. 138:492,406[A ]| When all things at her Wish and Pleasure move; 138:492,407[A ]| Her Heart is open then, and free to$9$ Love. 138:492,408[A ]| Then Mirth and Wantonness to$4$ Lust betray, 138:492,409[A ]| And smooth the Passage to$4$ the Lover's Way. 138:492,410[A ]| Troy stood the Siege, when filled with anxious Care: 138:492,411[A ]| One merry Fit concluded all the War. 138:492,412[A ]| If some fair Rival vex her jealous Mind; 138:492,413[A ]| Offer thy Service to$9$ revenge in$4$ Kind. 138:492,414[A ]| Instruct the Damsel, while she combs her Hair, 138:492,415[A ]| To$9$ raise the Choler of that$6#2$ injured Fair: 138:492,416[A ]| And sighing, make her Mistress understand, 138:492,417[A ]| She has the means of Vengeance in$4$ her Hand. 138:492,418[A ]| Then, naming thee, thy humble Suit prefer; 138:492,419[A ]| And swear thou languishest and diest for$4$ her. 138:492,420[A ]| Then let her lose no$2$ Time, but push at all; 138:492,421[A ]| For$3$ Women soon are raised, and soon they fall. 138:492,422[A ]| Give their first Fury Leisure to$9$ relent, 138:492,423[A ]| They melt like$4$ Ice, and suddenly repent. 138:492,424[A ]| To$9$ enjoy the Maid, will$1$ that$6#2$ thy Suit advance? 138:492,425[A ]| It is a hard Question, and a doubtful Chance. 138:492,426[A ]| One Maid corrupted, Bawds the better for$4$ it; 138:492,427[A ]| Another for$4$ herself would keep the Sport. 138:492,428[A ]| Thy Business may be farthered or delayed, 138:492,429[A ]| But by$4$ my Counsel, let alone the Maid. 138:492,430[A ]| Even though she should consent to$9$ do the Feat; 138:492,431[A ]| The Profit is little, and the Danger great. 138:492,432[A ]| I will$1$ not lead thee through a rugged Road; 138:492,433[A ]| But where the Way lies open, safe, and broad. 138:493,434[A ]| Yet if thou findest her very much thy Friend; 138:493,435[A ]| And her good Face her Diligence commend: 138:493,436[A ]| Let the fair Mistress have thy first Embrace, 138:493,437[A ]| And let the Maid come after in$4$ her Place. 138:493,438[A ]| But this I will$1$ advise, and mark my Words, 138:493,439[A ]| For$3$ it is the best Advice my Skill affords. 138:493,440[A ]| If needs thou with the Damsel wilt begin; 138:493,441[A ]| Before the Attempt is made, make sure to$9$ win: 138:493,442[A ]| For$3$ then the Secret better will$1$ be kept; 138:493,443[A ]| And she can tell no$2$ Tales when once she is dipped. 138:493,444[A ]| It is for$4$ the Fowler's Interest to$9$ beware, 138:493,445[A ]| The Bird entangled, should, not escape the Snare. 138:493,446[A ]| The Fish once pricked, avoids the bearded Hook; 138:493,447[A ]| And spoils the Sport of all the neighbouring Brook. 138:493,448[A ]| If the Wench be thine, she makes thy Way; 138:493,449[A ]| And for$4$ thy Sake, her Mistress will$1$ betray; 138:493,450[A ]| Tell all she knows, and all she hears her say. 138:493,451[A ]| Keep well the Counsel of thy faithful Spy: 138:493,452[A ]| So$3$ shalt thou learn whenever she treads awry. 138:493,453[A ]| All things the Stations of their Seasons keep: 138:493,454[A ]| And certain Times there are to$9$ sow and reap. 138:493,455[A ]| Ploughmen and Sailors for$4$ the Season stay, 138:493,456[A ]| One to$9$ plough Land, and one to$9$ plough the Sea: 138:493,457[A ]| So$3$ should the Lover wait the lucky Day. 138:493,458[A ]| Then stop thy Suit, it hurts not thy Design: 138:493,459[A ]| But think another Hour she may be thine, 138:493,460[A ]| And when she celebrates her Birth at home, 138:493,461[A ]| Or when she views the public Shows of Rome; 138:493,462[A ]| Know all thy Visits then are troublesome. 138:493,463[A ]| Defer thy Work, and put not then to$4$ Sea, 138:493,464[A ]| For$3$ that$6#2$ is a boding, and a stormy Day. 138:493,465[A ]| Else take thy Time, and when thou canst, begin; 138:493,466[A ]| To$9$ break a Jewish Sabbath, think no$2$ Sin: 138:493,467[A ]| Nor even on$4$ superstitious Days abstain. 138:493,468[A ]| Not when the Romans were at Allia slain. 138:494,469[A ]| Ill Omens in$4$ her Frowns are understood; 138:494,470[A ]| When She is in$4$ humour, every Day is good. 138:494,471[A ]| But than her Birth-day seldom comes a worse; 138:494,472[A ]| When Bribes and Presents must be sent of course. 138:494,473[A ]| And that$6#2$ is a bloody Day, that$6#1$ costs thy Purse. 138:494,474[A ]| Be staunch; yet Parsimony will$1$ be vain: 138:494,475[A ]| The craving Sex will$1$ still the Lover drain. 138:494,476[A ]| No$2$ Skill can shift them off, nor Art remove; 138:494,477[A ]| They will$1$ be Begging when they know we Love. 138:494,478[A ]| The Merchant comes upon$4$ the appointed Day, 138:494,479[A ]| Who$6#1$ shall before thy Face, his Wares display. 138:494,480[A ]| To$9$ choose for$4$ her she craves thy kind Advice; 138:494,481[A ]| Then begs again, to$9$ bargain for$4$ the Price: 138:494,482[A ]| But when she has her Purchase in$4$ her Eye, 138:494,483[A ]| She hugs thee close, and kisses thee to$9$ buy. 138:494,484[A ]| It is what I want, and it is a Pennyworth too; 138:494,485[A ]| In$4$ many years I will$1$ not trouble you. 138:494,486[A ]| If you complain you have no$2$ ready Coin; 138:494,487[A ]| No$2$ matter, it is but Writing of a Line: 138:494,488[A ]| A little Bill, not to$9$ be paid at Sight; 138:494,489[A ]| (Now curse the Time when thou wert taught to$9$ Write.) 138:494,490[A ]| She keeps her Birth-day; you must send the Cheer; 138:494,491[A ]| And she will$1$ be Born a hundred times a year. 138:494,492[A ]| With daily Lies she dribs thee into Cost; 138:494,493[A ]| That$6#2$ Ear-ring dropped a Stone, that$6#2$ Ring is lost: 138:494,494[A ]| They often borrow what they never pay; 138:494,495[A ]| Whatever you lend her think it thrown away. 138:494,496[A ]| Had I ten Mouths and Tongues to$9$ tell each Art, 138:494,497[A ]| All would be wearied before I told a Part. 138:494,498[A ]| By$4$ Letters, not by$4$ Words, thy Love begin, 138:494,499[A ]| And Ford the dangerous Passage with thy Pen. 138:494,500[A ]| If to$4$ her Heart thou aimest to$9$ find the way, 138:494,501[A ]| Extremely Flatter, and extremely Pray. 138:494,502[A ]| Priam by$4$ Prayers did Hector's Body gain; 138:494,503[A ]| Nor is an Angry God invoked in$4$ vain. 138:494,504[A ]| With promised Gifts her easy Mind bewitch; 138:495,505[A ]| For$3$ even the Poor in$4$ promise may be Rich. 138:495,506[A ]| Vain Hopes a while her Appetite will$1$ stay; 138:495,507[A ]| It is a deceitful, but commodious way. 138:495,508[A ]| Who$6#1$ gives is Mad; but make her still believe 138:495,509[A ]| It will$1$ come, and that$6#2$ is the cheapest way to$9$ give, 138:495,510[A ]| Even barren Lands fair promises afford; 138:495,511[A ]| But the lean Harvest cheats the starving Lord. 138:495,512[A ]| Buy not thy first Enjoyment; lest it prove 138:495,513[A ]| Or bad example to$4$ thy future Love: 138:495,514[A ]| But get it 7gratis; and she will$1$ give thee more, 138:495,515[A ]| For$4$ fear of losing what she gave before. 138:495,516[A ]| The losing Gamester shakes the Box in$4$ vain, 138:495,517[A ]| And Bleeds, and loses on$5$, in$4$ hopes to$9$ gain. 138:495,518[A ]| Write then, and in$4$ thy Letter, as I said, 138:495,519[A ]| Let her with mighty Promises be fed. 138:495,520[A ]| Cydippe by$4$ a Letter was betrayed, 138:495,521[A ]| Writ on$4$ a Apple to$4$ the unwary Maid. 138:495,522[A ]| She read herself into a Marriage Vow; 138:495,523[A ]| (And every Cheat in$4$ Love the Gods allow.) 138:495,524[A ]| Learn Eloquence, ye noble Youth of Rome; 138:495,525[A ]| It will$1$ not only at the Bar overcome: 138:495,526[A ]| Sweet words, the People and the Senate move; 138:495,527[A ]| But the chief end of Eloquence, is Love. 138:495,528[A ]| But in$4$ thy Letter hide thy moving Arts; 138:495,529[A ]| Affect not to$9$ be thought a Man of Parts. 138:495,530[A ]| None but vain Fools to$4$ simple Women Preach; 138:495,531[A ]| A learned Letter oft has made a Breach. 138:495,532[A ]| In$4$ a familiar Style your Thoughts convey, 138:495,533[A ]| And Write such things, as Present you would say; 138:495,534[A ]| Such words as from the Heart may seem to$9$ move: 138:495,535[A ]| It is Wit enough, to$9$ make her think you Love. 138:495,536[A ]| If Sealed she sends it back, and will$1$ not read; 138:495,537[A ]| Yet hope, in$4$ time the business may succeed. 138:495,538[A ]| In$4$ time the Steer will$1$ to$4$ the Yoke submit; 138:495,539[A ]| In$4$ time the restive Horse will$1$ bear the Bit. 138:496,540[A ]| Even the hard Plough-share, use will$1$ wear away; 138:496,541[A ]| And stubborn Steel in$4$ length of time decay. 138:496,542[A ]| Water is soft, and Marble hard; and yet 138:496,543[A ]| We see, soft Water through hard Marble Eat. 138:496,544[A ]| Though late, yet Troy at length in$4$ Flames expired; 138:496,545[A ]| And ten years more, Penelope had tired. 138:496,546[A ]| Perhaps, thy Lines unanswered she retained; 138:496,547[A ]| No$2$ Matter; there is a Point already gained: 138:496,548[A ]| For$3$ she who$6#1$ Reads, in$4$ time will$1$ Answer too; 138:496,549[A ]| Things must be left, by$4$ just degrees to$9$ grow. 138:496,550[A ]| Perhaps she Writes, but answers with Disdain; 138:496,551[A ]| And sharply bids you not to$9$ write again: 138:496,552[A ]| What she requires, she fears you should accord; 138:496,553[A ]| The Jilt would not be taken at her word. 138:496,554[A ]| Meantime, if she be carried in$4$ her Chair, 138:496,555[A ]| Approach; but do not seem to$9$ know she is there. 138:496,556[A ]| Speak softly, to$9$ delude the Standers by$5$; 138:496,557[A ]| Or, if aloud, then speak ambiguously. 138:496,558[A ]| If Sauntering in$4$ the Portico she Walk, 138:496,559[A ]| Move slowly too; for$3$ that$6#2$ is a time for$4$ talk: 138:496,560[A ]| And sometimes follow, sometimes be her guide; 138:496,561[A ]| But when the Crowd permits, go side by$4$ side. 138:496,562[A ]| Nor in$4$ the Play-House let her sit alone: 138:496,563[A ]| For$3$ she is the Play-House and the Play in$4$ one. 138:496,564[A ]| There thou mayst ogle, and by$4$ Signs advance 138:496,565[A ]| Thy suit, and seem to$9$ touch her Hand by$4$ chance. 138:496,566[A ]| Admire the Dancer who$6#1$ her liking gains, 138:496,567[A ]| And pity in$4$ the Play the Lover's Pains; 138:496,568[A ]| For$4$ her sweet sake the loss of time despise; 138:496,569[A ]| Sit while she sits, and when she rises rise. 138:496,570[A ]| But dress not like$4$ a Fop: nor curl your Hair, 138:496,571[A ]| Nor with a Pumice make your Body bare. 138:496,572[A ]| Leave those effeminate and useless Toys 138:496,573[A ]| To$4$ Eunuchs, who$6#1$ can give no$2$ solid Joys. 138:497,574[A ]| Neglect becomes a Man: This Theseus found; 138:497,575[A ]| Uncurled, uncombed, the Nymph his Wishes Crowned. 138:497,576[A ]| The rough Hippolitus, was Phaedra's care; 138:497,577[A ]| And Venus thought the rude Adonis fair. 138:497,578[A ]| Be not too Finical; but yet be clean; 138:497,579[A ]| And wear well-fashioned Clothes, like$4$ other Men. 138:497,580[A ]| Let not your Teeth be yellow, or be foul; 138:497,581[A ]| Nor in$4$ wide Shoes your Feet too loosely roll. 138:497,582[A ]| Of a black Muzzle, and long Beard beware; 138:497,583[A ]| And let a skilful Barber cut your Hair: 138:497,584[A ]| Your Nails be picked from Filth, and even pared; 138:497,585[A ]| Nor let your nasty Nostrils bud with Beard. 138:497,586[A ]| Cure your unsavoury Breath; gargle your Throat; 138:497,587[A ]| And free your Arm-pits from the Ram and Goat. 138:497,588[A ]| Dress not, in$4$ short, too little, or too much: 138:497,589[A ]| And be not wholly French, nor wholly Dutch. 138:497,590[A ]| Now Bacchus calls me to$4$ his jolly Rites: 138:497,591[A ]| Who$6#2$ would not follow, when a God invites? 138:497,592[A ]| He helps the Poet, and his Pen inspires; 138:497,593[A ]| Kind and indulgent to$4$ his former Fires. 138:497,594[A ]| Fair Ariadne wandered on$4$ the Shore 138:497,595[A ]| Forsaken now; and Theseus Loves no$2$ more: 138:497,596[A ]| Loose was her Gown, dishevelled was her Hair; 138:497,597[A ]| Her Bosom naked, and her Feet were bare: 138:497,598[A ]| Exclaiming, in$4$ the Water's brink she stood; 138:497,599[A ]| Her briny Tears augment the briny Flood. 138:497,600[A ]| She shrieked, and wept, and both became her Face: 138:497,601[A ]| No$2$ posture could that$6#2$ Heavenly form disgrace. 138:497,602[A ]| She beat her Breast: 138:497,602@c | The Traitor is gone, 138:497,602[A ]| said she, 138:497,603@c | What shall become of poor forsaken me? 138:497,604@c | What shall become ~~ 138:497,604[A ]| she had not time for$4$ more, 138:497,605[A ]| The sounding Cymbals rattled on$4$ the Shore. 138:497,606[A ]| She swoons for$4$ fear, she falls upon$4$ the Ground; 138:497,607[A ]| No$2$ vital heat was in$4$ her Body found. 138:497,608[A ]| The Mimallonian Dames about her stood; 138:498,609[A ]| And scudding Satyrs ran before their God. 138:498,610[A ]| Silenus on$4$ his Ass did next appear; 138:498,611[A ]| And held upon$4$ the Mane (the God was clear.) 138:498,612[A ]| The drunken Sire pursues; the Dames retire; 138:498,613[A ]| Sometimes the drunken Dames pursue the drunken Sire 138:498,614[A ]| At last he topples over on$4$ the Plain; 138:498,615[A ]| The Satyrs laugh, and bid him rise again. 138:498,616[A ]| And now the God of Wine came driving on$5$, 138:498,617[A ]| High on$4$ his Chariot by$4$ swift Tigers drawn. 138:498,618[A ]| Her Colour, Voice and Sense forsook the fair; 138:498,619[A ]| Thrice did her trembling Feet for$4$ Flight prepare, 138:498,620[A ]| And thrice affrighted did her Flight forbear. 138:498,621[A ]| She shook, like$4$ leaves of Corn when Tempests blow; 138:498,622[A ]| Or slender Reeds that$6#1$ in$4$ the Marshes grow. 138:498,623[A ]| To$4$ whom the God ~~ 138:497,623@b | compose thy fearful Mind; 138:498,623@b | In$4$ me a truer Husband thou shalt find. 138:498,625@b | With Heaven I will$1$ endow thee; and thy Star 138:498,626@b | Shall with propitious Light be seen afar: 138:498,627@b | And guide on$4$ Seas the doubtful Mariner. 138:498,628[A ]| He said; and from his Chariot leaping light, 138:498,629[A ]| Lest the grim Tigers should the Nymph affright 138:498,630[A ]| His brawny Arms around her Waist he threw; 138:498,631[A ]| (For$3$ Gods, whatever they will$1$, with ease can do:) 138:498,632[A ]| And swiftly bore her thence; the attending Throng 138:498,633[A ]| Shout at the Sight, and sing the Nuptial Song. 138:498,634[A ]| Now in$4$ full Bowls her Sorrow she may steep: 138:498,635[A ]| The Bridegroom's Liquor lays the Bride asleep. 138:498,636[A ]| But thou, when flowing Cups in$4$ Triumph ride, 138:498,637[A ]| And the loved Nymph is seated by$4$ thy side; 138:498,638[A ]| Invoke the God, and all the mighty Powers; 138:498,639[A ]| That$3$ Wine may not defraud thy genial Hours. 138:498,640[A ]| Then in$4$ ambiguous Words thy suit prefer; 138:498,641[A ]| Which$6#1$ she may know were all addressed to$4$ her. 138:499,642[A ]| In$4$ liquid Purple Letters write her Name: 138:499,643[A ]| Which$6#1$ she may read, and reading find thy Flame. 138:499,644[A ]| Then may your Eyes confess your mutual Fires; 138:499,645[A ]| (For$3$ Eyes have Tongues, and glances tell desires.) 138:499,646[A ]| Whenever she Drinks, be first to$9$ take the Cup; 138:499,647[A ]| And where she laid her Lips, the Blessing sup. 138:499,648[A ]| When she to$9$ Carving does her Hand advance; 138:499,649[A ]| Put out thy own, and touch it as by$4$ chance. 138:499,650[A ]| Thy service even her Husband must attend: 138:499,651[A ]| (A Husband is a most convenient Friend.) 138:499,652[A ]| Seat the fool Cuckold in$4$ the highest place; 138:499,653[A ]| And with thy Garland his dull Temples grace. 138:499,654[A ]| Whether below, or equal in$4$ degree, 138:499,655[A ]| Let him be Lord of all the Company. 138:499,656[A ]| And what he says, be seconded by$4$ Thee. 138:499,657[A ]| It is common to$9$ deceive through Friendship's Name: 138:499,658[A ]| But common though it be, it is still to$9$ blame. 138:499,659[A ]| Thus Factors frequently their Trust betray; 138:499,660[A ]| And to$4$ themselves their Masters Gains convey. 138:499,661[A ]| Drink to$4$ a certain Pitch, and then give over; 138:499,662[A ]| Thy Tongue and Feet may stumble, drinking more. 138:499,663[A ]| Of drunken Quarrels in$4$ her sight, beware; 138:499,664[A ]| Pot Valour only serves to$9$ fright the Fair. 138:499,665[A ]| Eurytion justly fell, by$4$ Wine oppressed, 138:499,666[A ]| For$4$ his rude Riot, at a Wedding-Feast. 138:499,667[A ]| Sing, if you have a Voice: and show your Parts 138:499,668[A ]| In$4$ Dancing, if endued with Dancing Arts. 138:499,669[A ]| Do anything within your power, to$9$ please; 138:499,670[A ]| Nay, even affect a seeming Drunkenness.. 138:499,671[A ]| Clip every word; and if by$4$ chance you speak 138:499,672[A ]| Too home, or if too broad a Jest you break; 138:499,673[A ]| In$4$ your excuse the Company will$1$ join, 138:499,674[A ]| And lay the Fault upon$4$ the Force of Wine. 138:499,675[A ]| True Drunkenness is subject to$9$ offend, 138:499,676[A ]| But when it is feigned, it is oft a Lover's Friend. 138:499,677[A ]| Then safely you may praise her beauteous Face, 138:500,678[A ]| And call him Happy, who$6#1$ is in$4$ her grace. 138:500,679[A ]| Her Husband thinks himself the Man designed; 138:500,680[A ]| But curse the Cuckold in$4$ your secret Mind. 138:500,681[A ]| When all are risen, and prepare to$9$ go; 138:500,682[A ]| Mix with the Crowd, and tread upon$4$ her Toe. 138:500,683[A ]| This is the proper time to$9$ make thy Court; 138:500,684[A ]| For$3$ now she is in$4$ the Vein, and fit for$4$ Sport. 138:500,685[A ]| Lay Bashfulness, that$6#2$ rustic Virtue, by$5$; 138:500,686[A ]| To$4$ manly Confidence thy Thoughts apply. 138:500,687[A ]| On$4$ Fortune's Foretop timely fix thy hold; 138:500,688[A ]| Now speak and speed, for$3$ Venus loves the bold. 138:500,689[A ]| No$2$ Rules of Rhetoric here I need afford: 138:500,690[A ]| Only begin, and trust the following word; 138:500,691[A ]| It will$1$ be Witty of its own accord. 138:500,692[A ]| Act well the Lover, let thy Speech abound 138:500,693[A ]| In$4$ dying words, that$6#1$ represent thy Wound. 138:500,694[A ]| Distrust not her belief; she will$1$ be moved: 138:500,695[A ]| All Women think they merit to$9$ be loved. 138:500,696[A ]| Sometimes a Man begins to$9$ Love in$4$ jest; 138:500,697[A ]| And after, feels the Torments he professed. 138:500,698[A ]| For$4$ your own sakes be pitiful ye Fair; 138:500,699[A ]| For$3$ a feigned Passion, may a true prepare. 138:500,700[A ]| By$4$ Flatteries we prevail on$4$ Woman-kind; 138:500,701[A ]| As hollow Banks by$4$ Streams are undermined. 138:500,702[A ]| Tell her, her Face is Fair, her Eyes are Sweet: 138:500,703[A ]| Her Taper Fingers praise, and little Feet. 138:500,704[A ]| Such Praises even the Chaste are pleased to$9$ hear; 138:500,705[A ]| Both Maids and Matrons hold their Beauty dear. ~ 138:500,706[A ]| Once naked Pallas with Jove's Queen appeared; 138:500,707[A ]| And still they grieve that$3$ Venus was preferred. 138:500,708[A ]| Praise the proud Peacock, and he spreads his Train: 138:500,709[A ]| Be silent, and he pulls it in$4$ again. 138:500,710[A ]| Pleased is the Courser in$4$ his rapid Race, 138:501,711[A ]| Applaud his Running, and he mends his pace: 138:501,712[A ]| But largely promise, and devoutly swear; 138:501,713[A ]| And, if need be, call every God to$9$ hear. 138:501,714[A ]| Jove sits above, forgiving with a Smile, 138:501,715[A ]| The Perjuries that$6#1$ easy Maids beguile. 138:501,716[A ]| He swore to$4$ Juno by$4$ the Stygian Lake: 138:501,717[A ]| Forsworn, he dares not an Example make; 138:501,718[A ]| Or punish Falsehood, for$4$ his own dear sake. 138:501,719[A ]| It is for$4$ our Interest that$3$ the Gods should be; 138:501,720[A ]| Let us believe them: I believe they see, 138:501,721[A ]| And both reward, and punish equally: 138:501,722[A ]| Not that$3$ they live above, like$4$ lazy Drones, 138:501,723[A ]| Or Kings below, supine upon$4$ their Thrones: 138:501,724[A ]| Lead then your Lives as present in$4$ their sight; 138:501,725[A ]| Be just in$4$ Dealings, and defend the right; 138:501,726[A ]| By$4$ Fraud betray not, nor Oppress by$4$ Might. 138:501,727[A ]| But it is a Venial Sin to$9$ Cheat the Fair; 138:501,728[A ]| All Men have Liberty of Conscience there. 138:501,729[A ]| On$4$ cheating Nymphs a Cheat is well designed, 138:501,730[A ]| It is a profane, and a deceitful Kind. 138:501,731[A ]| It is said; that$3$ AEgypt for$4$ nine Years was dry, 138:501,732[A ]| Not Nile did Floods, nor Heaven did Rain supply. 138:501,733[A ]| A Foreigner at length informed the King, 138:501,734[A ]| That$3$ slaughtered Guests would kindly Moisture bring. 138:501,735[A ]| The King replied, 138:497,735@b | On$4$ thee the Lot shall fall, 138:501,736@b | Be thou, my Guest, the Sacrifice for$4$ all. 138:501,737[A ]| Thus Phalaris, Perillus taught to$9$ low, 138:501,738[A ]| And made him season first the brazen Cow. 138:501,739[A ]| A rightful Doom, the Laws of Nature cry, 138:501,740[A ]| It is the Artificers of Death should die. 138:501,741[A ]| Thus justly Women suffer by$4$ Deceit; 138:501,742[A ]| Their practice authorises us to$9$ cheat. 138:501,743[A ]| Beg her, with Tears, thy warm Desires to$9$ grant; 138:501,744[A ]| For$3$ Tears will$1$ pierce a Heart of Adamant.. 138:501,745[A ]| If Tears will$1$ not be squeezed, then rub your Eye, 138:502,746[A ]| Or anoint the Lids, and seem at least to$9$ cry. 138:502,747[A ]| Kiss, if you can: Resistance if she make, 138:502,748[A ]| And will$1$ not give you Kisses, let her take. 138:502,749[A ]| Fie, fie, you naughty Man, are Words of Course; 138:502,750[A ]| She struggles, but to$9$ be subdued by$4$ Force. 138:502,751[A ]| Kiss only soft, I charge you, and beware, 138:502,752[A ]| With your hard Bristles, not to$9$ brush the Fair. 138:502,753[A ]| He who$6#1$ has gained a Kiss, and gains no$2$ more, 138:502,754[A ]| Deserves to$9$ lose the Bliss he got before. 138:502,755[A ]| If once she kiss, her Meaning is expressed; 138:502,756[A ]| There wants but little Pushing for$4$ the rest: 138:502,757[A ]| Which$6#1$ if thou dost not gain, by$4$ Strength or Art, 138:502,758[A ]| The Name of Clown then suits with thy Desert. 138:502,759[A ]| It is downright Dullness, and a shameful Part. 138:502,760[A ]| Perhaps she calls it Force; but if she escape, 138:502,761[A ]| She will$1$ not thank you for$4$ the omitted Rape. 138:502,762[A ]| The Sex is cunning to$9$ conceal their Fires, 138:502,763[A ]| They would be forced, even to$4$ their own Desires. 138:502,764[A ]| They seem to$9$ accuse you, with a down-cast Sight, 138:502,765[A ]| But in$4$ their Souls confess you did them right. 138:502,766[A ]| Who$6#1$ might be forced, and yet untouched depart, 138:502,767[A ]| Thank with their Tongues, but curse you with their Heart. 138:502,768[A ]| Fair Phoebe and her Sister did prefer, 138:502,769[A ]| To$4$ their dull Mates, the noble Ravisher. 138:502,770[A ]| What Deidamia did, in$4$ Days of Yore, 138:502,771[A ]| The Tale is old, but worth the telling over. 138:502,772[A ]| When Venus had the golden Apple gained, 138:502,773[A ]| And the just judge fair Helen had obtained: 138:502,774[A ]| When she with Triumph was at Troy received, 138:502,775[A ]| The Trojans joyful, while the Grecians grieved: 138:502,776[A ]| They vowed Revenge of violated Laws, 138:502,777[A ]| And Greece was arming in$4$ the Cuckold's Cause; 138:502,778[A ]| Achilles, by$4$ his Mother warned from War, 138:502,779[A ]| Disguised his Sex, and lurked among the Fair; 138:503,780[A ]| What means Eacides to$9$ spin and sow? 138:503,781[A ]| With Spear, and Sword, in$4$ Field thy Valour show! 138:503,782[A ]| And leaving this, the Nobler Pallas know. 138:503,783[A ]| Why dost thou in$4$ that$6#2$ Hand the Distaff wield, 138:503,784[A ]| Which$6#1$ is more worthy to$9$ sustain a Shield? 138:503,785[A ]| Or with that$6#2$ other draw the woolly Twine, 138:503,786[A ]| The same the Fates for$4$ Hector's Thread assign? 138:503,787[A ]| Brandish thy Fauchion in$4$ thy powerful Hand, 138:503,788[A ]| Which$6#1$ can alone the ponderous Lance command. 138:503,789[A ]| In$4$ the same Room by$4$ chance the Royal Maid 138:503,790[A ]| Was lodged, and, by$4$ his seeming Sex betrayed, 138:503,791[A ]| Close to$4$ her Side the Youthful Hero laid. 138:503,792[A ]| I know not how his Courtship he began; 138:503,793[A ]| But, to$4$ her Cost, she found it was a Man. 138:503,794[A ]| It is thought she struggled, but withal it is thought, 138:503,795[A ]| Her Wish was to$9$ be conquered, when she fought. 138:503,796[A ]| For$3$ when disclosed, and hastening to$4$ the Field, 138:503,797[A ]| He laid his Distaff down, and took the Shield, 138:503,798[A ]| With Tears her humble Suit she did prefer; 138:503,799[A ]| And thought to$9$ stay the grateful Ravisher. 138:503,800[A ]| She sighs, she sobs, she begs him not to$9$ part, 138:503,801[A ]| And now it is Nature, what before was Art. 138:503,802[A ]| She strives by$4$ Force her Lover to$9$ detain, 138:503,803[A ]| And wishes to$9$ be ravished once again. 138:503,804[A ]| This is the Sex; they will$1$ not first begin, 138:503,805[A ]| But when compelled, are pleased to$9$ suffer Sin. 138:503,806[A ]| Is there, who$6#1$ thinks that$3$ Women first should woo? 138:503,807[A ]| Lay by$5$ thy Self-Conceit, thou foolish Beau. 138:503,808[A ]| Begin, and save their Modesty the Shame; 138:503,809[A ]| It is well for$4$ thee, if they receive thy Flame. 138:503,810[A ]| It is decent for$4$ a Man to$9$ speak his Mind; 138:503,811[A ]| They but expect the Occasion to$9$ be kind. 138:503,812[A ]| Ask, that$3$ thou mayst enjoy; she waits for$4$ this: 138:503,813[A ]| And on$4$ thy first Advance depends thy Bliss. 138:503,814[A ]| Even Jove himself was forced to$9$ sue for$4$ Love: 138:503,815[A ]| None of the Nymphs did first solicit Jove. 138:504,816[A ]| But if you find your Prayers increase her Pride, 138:504,817[A ]| Strike Sail awhile, and wait another Tide. 138:504,818[A ]| They fly when we pursue, but make Delay; 138:504,819[A ]| And when they see you slacken, they will$1$ stay. 138:504,820[A ]| Sometimes it profits to$9$ conceal your End; 138:504,821[A ]| Name not yourself her Lover, but her Friend. 138:504,822[A ]| How many skittish Girls have thus been caught! 138:504,823[A ]| He proved a Lover, who$6#1$ a Friend was thought. 138:504,824[A ]| Sailors by$4$ Sun and Wind are swarthy made; 138:504,825[A ]| A tanned Complexion best becomes their Trade. 138:504,826[A ]| It is a Disgrace to$4$ Ploughmen to$9$ be fair; 138:504,827[A ]| Bluff Cheeks they have, and weather-beaten Hair, 138:504,828[A ]| The ambitious Youth, who$6#1$ seeks an Olive Crown, 138:504,829[A ]| Is Sun-burnt, with his daily Toil, and brown; 138:504,830[A ]| But if the Lover hopes to$9$ be in$4$ Grace, 138:504,831[A ]| Wan be his Looks, and meagre be his Face. 138:504,832[A ]| That$6#2$ Colour, from the Fair, Compassion draws; 138:504,833[A ]| She thinks you sick, and thinks herself the Cause. 138:504,834[A ]| Orion wandered in$4$ the Woods for$4$ Love, 138:504,835[A ]| His Paleness did the Nymphs to$4$ Pity move; 138:504,826[A ]| His ghastly Visage argued hidden Love. 138:504,827[A ]| Nor fail a Night-Cap, in$4$ full Health, to$9$ wear; 138:504,838[A ]| Neglect thy Dress, and discompose thy Hair. 138:504,839[A ]| All things are decent, that$6#1$ in$4$ Love avail. 138:504,840[A ]| Read long by$4$ Night, and study to$9$ be pale. 138:504,841[A ]| Forsake your Food, refuse your needful Rest; 138:504,842[A ]| Be miserable, that$3$ you may be blest. 138:504,843[A ]| Shall I complain, or shall I warn you most? 138:504,844[A ]| Faith, Truth and Friendship, in$4$ the World are lost: 138:504,845[A ]| A little and an empty Name they boast. 138:504,846[A ]| Trust not thy Friend, much less thy Mistress praise; 138:504,847[A ]| If he believe, thou mayst a Rival raise. 138:504,848[A ]| It is true, Patroclus, by$4$ no$2$ Lust misled, 138:504,849[A ]| Sought not to$9$ stain his dear Companion's Bed. 138:505,850[A ]| Nor Pylades Hermione embraced 138:505,851[A ]| Even Phaedra to$4$ Perithous still was chaste. 138:505,852[A ]| But hope not thou, in$4$ this vile Age, 138:505,853[A ]| Those rare Examples of a faithful Mind. 138:505,854[A ]| The Sea shall sooner with sweet Honey flow; 138:505,855[A ]| Or, from the Furzes, Pears and Apples grow. 138:505,856[A ]| We Sin with Gust, we love by$4$ Fraud to$9$ gain; 138:505,857[A ]| And find a Pleasure in$4$ our Fellows' Pain. 138:505,858[A ]| From Rival Foes you may the Fair defend: 138:505,859[A ]| But would you ward the Blow, beware your Friend. 138:505,860[A ]| Beware your Brother, and your next of Kin; 138:505,861[A ]| But from your Bosom Friend your Care begin 138:505,862[A ]| Here I had ended, but Experience finds, 138:505,863[A ]| That$3$ sundry Women are of sundry Minds; 138:505,864[A ]| With various Crochets filled, and hard to$9$ please, 138:505,865[A ]| They therefore must be caught by$4$ various Ways. 138:505,866[A ]| All things are not produced in$4$ any Soil, 138:505,867[A ]| This Ground for$4$ Wine is proper, that$6#2$ for$4$ Oil. 138:505,868[A ]| So$3$ it is in$4$ Men, but more in$4$ Women-kind: 138:505,869[A ]| Different in$4$ Face, in$4$ Manners, and in$4$ Mind. 138:505,870[A ]| But wise Men shift their Sails with every Wind: 138:505,871[A ]| As changeful Proteus varied oft his Shape, 138:505,872[A ]| And did in$4$ sundry Forms and Figures escape; 138:505,873[A ]| A running Stream, a standing Tree became, 138:505,874[A ]| A roaring Lion, or a bleating Lamb. 138:505,875[A ]| Some Fish with Harpoons, some with Darts are struck, 138:505,876[A ]| Some drawn with Nets, some hang upon$4$ the Hook: 138:505,877[A ]| So$3$ turn thyself; and, imitating them, 138:505,878[A ]| Try several Tricks, and change thy Stratagem. 138:505,879[A ]| One Rule will$1$ not, for$4$ different Ages, hold; 138:505,880[A ]| The Jades grow cunning, as they grow more old. 138:505,881[A ]| Then talk not Bawdy to$4$ the bashful Maid; 138:505,882[A ]| Bug Words will$1$ make her Innocence afraid. 138:505,883[A ]| Nor to$4$ an ignorant Girl of Learning speak; 138:505,884[A ]| She thinks you conjure, when you talk in$4$ Greek.
